Manufacturing Technology Support (MATES). Delivery Order 0002: Business Practices Assessment (BPA) Development

Abstract

AFRL/RXM ManTech, the Manufacturing and Technology Division of the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, is charged with understanding and facilitating successful new key technologies for the United States Air Force. In the past, this mission has primarily focused on understanding and facilitating the science behind these new technologies and the manufacturing process required for stable product availability. Success is being re-defined to include the science and technology maturation process which includes the manufacturing capability and business viability of the organizations providing these specialty products. A process named the Rapid Industrial Preparedness Assessment (RIPA) has been created to aid AFRL/RXM ManTech's technology evaluators in assessing this definition of success. The RIPA has been developed specifically for this application by the Center for Executive Education at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN.
